Implicit type conversion, also known as coercion, is the automatic transformation of data types by the Python interpreter. It occurs when an operation involves two different data types and Python converts one type to another without explicit instruction from the programmer.
Explicit Type Conversion: The manual transformation of one data type into another using functions like int(), float(), or str().
Data Type: A classification that specifies which kind of value a variable can hold, such as integer, float, or string.
TypeError: An error raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type.
